that's so rad, my children wil teach it to their children's children for the time when there are no more corkscrews in the world, after doomsday...

Wonderful survival "with string" technique! The 'doomsday' spoken of may be what our grandparents called 'the great depression.' If so, 'the greater depression' to come might be so bad that it leaves us wishing we had a piece of string to open a corked bottle with. Question: Where do I get wine if all I can afford is to scrounge a piece of string? Or, if wine is consumeable and needs to be replenished... wouldn't I be wise to store a permanent tool, the corkscrew? It could be passed on from one generation to another. But the wine would need to be purchased again and again. Summary: this string trick works for those who go camping (or partying) unprepared! Lessons learned: Always invite a Boy Scout or survivalist that has a Swiss Army knife with a corkscrew when you want to drink wine.

well in doomsday wine might be the only drink-safe liquid, back in the middle ages people drank wine and beer because the water wasn't safe to drink

another doomsday naysayer? jeeze how many are there?

[Jarvinho]

This is the same doomesday, afer which there will only be cockroaches and duct tape?

[thingygoboom]

You forgot twinkies in Cold War bunkers.

[DIY-Guy]

Cockroaches are forever. Duct tape has a limited shelf life and goes bad before 'the day' arrives. Every time.

[lanceearlhaines]

no tape just cockroaches. nay to the naysayer.

I have never seen a bottle of wine where you can push the cork straight in , last time I tried the bottle shattered, it was not fun.

[lanceearlhaines]

you haven't seen too many wine bottles then.

[girrrrrrr2]

now someone should post how to put it back in!!!think of how evil that would be...you could put in soda or some other liquid!!!*turns around and walks away*yes that would be cool and funny...think of what could happen...ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzz...

[lanceearlhaines]

that really doesn't need a post. Just push!

[isaac!]

you fell asleep just thinking about it!

[patricklogsdon]

PMOWERS , that was a good idea with the cable tie!...I think I'm gonna try that first before i try the string.

[mwarren_us]

To help when pulling the string up, try tying the other end of the string around the pen (or other object you used to push the cork in) and then use that as a handle.

[pmowers]

This idea also works great for the times that your opener pushes the cork into the bottle. I removed it using the lock end of a nylon cable tie! Thanks for saving the day (well, evening, actually).
